Anand Goud, who works in Muscat, returned to India after learning of the death of his wife and daughter. Sandhyarani, who was also living in Muscat, had returned to India along with her husband during the Dasara and Deepavali holidays to spend time with their children, Chandana, who was working as a techie in Bengaluru, and Vallabh, who is pursuing his graduation in Allahabad.

After the holidays, Anand went back to Muscat, while Sandhyarani stayed behind. She planned to drop Chandana in Bengaluru before catching a flight to Muscat. The mother and daughter boarded the ill-fated VKaveri Travels bus at Chinthal in Hyderabad on Thursday, but their journey ended tragically midway.
